Am I te only one still using rfs?

The only thing keeping me from flashing all these new roms is the ext4 requirement -_-
Why doesn't anyonebuild a rom with rfs? I can't wait for schizopunk to get EE updated to eb13. I think he's the only dev that still supports rfs. Luckily his roms are always stable
I wish I knew how to write/alter code

I'm still using RFS.
Running Daemon's dodex, Stock EB13 ROM. Installed Genocide kernel 0.3a to fix the camera issues. Custom boot and custom battery icon.
If you cared to know what I had anyway. Personally, I prefer the piecemeal method of putting my phone together instead of simply installing a new ROM. I wish we had a kitchen like joeykrim created for the Moment.

Actually, that was the exact kindof respone I was looking for...lol
I like the piecemeal too, but there's only like 3 thins that I can flash. Everything else is cwm 3 :/
I'm running stock eb13 wih the odin flashable fix for the camera
How's genocide? I'm wary of dual-support kernals. I feel like...it won't be fully utilized or something lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

why dont you want to use ext4?

Also running RFS. I'm running stock except for the camera fix kernel. Tried Genocide but didn't like it. Syndicaterom looks interesting but it's not clear whether it will run on RFS.

EXT 4 is sooo much faster. it adds 400+ in quadrant on top of any rom you are using. thats if you are a numbers guy. but you will feel how much faster ext 4 does everything. the frozen rom is AMAZING 2400+ quadrant. the phone is done booting before the boot ani is done thats how much faster this phone is with those mods.

So if there's a .zip for cwm3 for a hot fix, it'll work? Just nothing dealing with thekernal and important tings like that right?

ext 4 is what is supported by google. thats why the devs felt the need to change it. also the cm3 is the gingerbread recovery. so which also tells you that the newer phones have that file system. also if you did mess uo something then you just odin and it only flashes the stock file system. in my previous comment when i was saying quadrant numbers i said thats if your a numbers guy. but you will feel in actual use of how much faster ext 4 is. there is a reason that only ext 4 is being supported by the devs. and ee really that guy is gay. this frozen rom is AMAZING none the less. read the rom thread you will see why.

Help me keep my Epic!

I've had my Epic for about a few days now and I'm starting to feel like I made the wrong choice. I chose mostly on the hardware, than the software. The battery drains like the phone has a hole in it, the TW UI is just bad and I can't use the regular launcher. I'm sure this phone would be better with pure android. So what should I do? ROMs, Kernals, etc. Thanks in advance!

Seriously though, did you try launcher pro or adw or any other launcher yet? Get a task killer, estrongs is the one I use. Use it. Move all apps that don't have a widget to the sd card.. custom roms IMO are still too buggy..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Syndicate Rom. It's absolutely awesome and very few bugs with almost all features working that I have noticed. Turns the Epic into the EPIC!!!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

I have not had a single person say that this is going to cause a problem with anything. if it is, please speak up. random remarks on how funny it is that i am running this isn't helping.

Because it is common sense
If directions for flashing 2.2 tell you to do something, like flash the new 2.2 radio, then you should probably do it xP
Otherwise, you can't even try to complain about GPS issues, phone call issues, etc...

I agree as for common sense, i know i should have done this. and honestly though i did.
and i have the files downloaded and saved to my dropbox.
but again, my point is, i am not having a single problem.GPS is working great (used on a daily basis), phone calls are perfect, loud and clear, even the one problem i was having turned out to be the headset itself. unless someone can give me a reason that i should/have to go to the 2.2 radio (EI someone tell me something that can only be done on the 2.2 radio and not on the one i am on currently) otherwise, i see no need to do it.

From what I have gathered its a hit or miss weather or not you'll have any problems using an outdated radio having not done it personally I guess I can't talk...
But in my opinion i've seen faster data transfer and less dead-zones than before so I would recommend it but I won't tell you that you need to do it
And anyways why not have the full froyo package?
Didn't mean to offend you good sir just bein a sillypoo XD

I'm going to throw this out there.

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.

I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

A ROM with "No Wipe" in the OP just means it won't wipe your data when it installs.
It is always a good idea to wipe data, cache, and dalvik when flashing a new ROM.

Sorry to hear this LOL..........anywho The Peoples Rom should get you to where you want to be. MTD is a totally different animal if you ever have to go back to stock make sure to check repartition. MTD is where you want to be it is more stable in my opinion. Like someone else said always do a wipe unless you are updating from the same ROM like the nightlies for CM7. CM7 is butter both mine and my wife's Epics are on it and love it. The only reason neither of us are on CM9 is battery life.
